I had an idea within the last year or so to rename the project from
'gtk2-perl' to just 'gtk-perl', with the intention that it would cover
the Perl bindings for both GTK+ versions 2 and 3.  I can't find the
e-mail at the moment, I'll keep looking.

I would rather maintain just 1 web page, instead of two or three.  I
have no preference for it's location or it's name, however, I would
like to do updates in only one place.  I currently do updates in many
places (Sourceforge, Freecode, mailing list).

For what it's worth, a good way to find Torsten's public gtk*-perl
repos on GitHub (or mine even) is to push any of the gtk*-perl source
repos as cloned from git.gnome.org to GitHub.

GitHub is smart enough to only store one copy of a given repository;
as soon as it finds commit IDs that have already been used, it will
"stack" your public project on top of the existing public project.  So
if you clone from git.gnome.org and then push your new clone to
GitHub, your new project will most likely have Torsten's name/GitHub
icon on top of it, at least until the two projects diverge in commit
IDs.

Thanks,

Brian
